Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso BNP Paribas nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
I was introduced to BNP Paribas by a recruitment office. The recruitment process involved two rounds of one-on-one interviews. The first round consisted mostly of questions were about my resume, personal motivation and how these would fit with BNP. In addition, some brainteasers and a few technical questions were raised.
The next day I received extensive feedback and an invitation to the second round of interviews. These focused on personal fit and my own expectations. Both employees were very honest, showed genuine interest and ensured the atmosphere was relaxed. The same afternoon I received the internship offer.
Overall I am very positive about the procedure and the effort to really get to know the applicant.
